Reconstructive Memory
-
influences
- based on the idea that memories are not saved as complete coherent wholes
- retrieval of memory is influenced by our perception, beliefs, past experiences, cultural factors, and the context in which we are recalling the information (these are the different factors to consider when we are asked to recall or reconstruct our memory)
- schema influences what we encode and what we retrieve from memory. When we have new information, we fit it into an existing schema or we change the information to make it fit. when we have to retrieve, recall, or reconstruct, schema influences it by changing words and replacing it with more familiar words because that is what is encoded in the first place. We also may have dropped or excluded information to streamline our data points, or if it was a story, rearranged the order of the story

- he also argued that memory is an imaginative reconstruction of experience
